Sonic Seeker
This game was made for a friends son, who wanted to play as sonic and tails, playing hide and seek. If you select sonic, you find tails and vice versa.
The billboards are dynamically populated via a google spreadsheet so the parent can add whatever images they want to the game in real-time to make the game more personalized.
His son asked to add a secret titanic you have to find, that has wall-e on it. If you find wall-e the next time you "seek" you are finding wall-e instead of sonic/tails.
The core movement is lifted from the Infinity+ engine. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjtjUrkKuMAV6HKteOK26kQ

PVC fort with velcro
We added Velcro strips (the black strips near the joints in the photo) to the PVC fort and got some felt fabric to cut panels out of. Now he can make forts with walls, and use washable markers to color on it to turn his creations into anything (fire trucks/ space ships/ forts/ etc)
Elsas Star Finder
Finally broke down and paid for the apple dev license, which let me start making games for all my friends kids who only have iphone/ipad devices.
Its a huge pain, its 100$ a year even if I never sell anything/publish anything on the store, and after I tried to get a refund after realizing how much of a pain it was, they refused... I hate apple...
Anyway, heres the first game I made. The request was from a destiny-friend's daughter.
She asked for a game where Elsa had to find stars in a snowy forest.

Vault of Candy
Made a fun interactive "game" for trick-or-treaters. (Based on a raid from destiny called "Vault of Glass".
It requires kids to stand in certain spots (detected using a kinect v2) and if they stand there long enough, the lasers charge up, and make a big blast over to the right (where there is candy in a coffin/chest thing)

Minecraft Music
My neice has been really into minecraft, so I decided to make some cool stuff for her in a shared world that we could play together with.
This is her favorite song "old town road" being played on music notes.

Iron Man Game
He's still in love with super heros, so I made a simple top down "tap to move" iron man game...
The enemy ai is from: https://www.raywenderlich.com/238-unreal-engine-4-tutorial-artificial-intelligence
If you tap close to iron man he does a blast.
